SP frontend and Wildcard certs

Working through sharepoint 2013 config. Ran the iApp - finished the configuration - all seems to be working fine.

 

So, when access through the url i.e. https://sharepoint.mydomain.com/ everything seems to be working fine UNTIL you launch a word document from the sharepoint library. It launches the application than spews an ssl error message and stops loading.

 

The cert - I am using for the web front-end is a wild card certificate i.e. *.sharepoint.mydomain.com and I believe this is where the issue is.

 

When I use a single host certificate i.e. sharepoint.mydomain.com -> word or any application has no complaints and everything works fine, as soon as I place the clientssl profile with wildcard certificate back the apps stops responding.

 

Is there any special config tweaks needed for wildcard certs? SharePoint or otherwise!

 

Thanks,

  • are you sure *.sharepoint.domain.com is valid for sharepoint.domain.com? it is for host1.sharepoint.domain.com, host2.sharepoint.domain.com but im not so sure about sharepoint.domain.com.

     

  • Using it for sharepoint.domain.com; the webUI appears - all works fine until I launch the word doc from the portal. That's where I get SSL error.

     

    The cert applied is wildcard cert i.e. *.sharepoint.domain.com with SNI name embedded as sharepoint.domain.com

     

  • what is the ssl error exactly? do you have ssl to the sharepoint server or just http?

     

  • Did client must request URL other than *.sharepoint.domain.com when they open the document?
